hey hey hey time for the out of this world story from ourspace when should we get concerned about our wife's elusive family member today on our space guess Uncle J wasn't just swinging by for a visit he was swinging by for a whole lot more my wife brought her a fair partner around my kids plan to spend my money together I caught her in 4k and took everything from her I'm 35 years old and my wife Sarah is 33 at my age I think that I have done pretty well for myself I own a thriving
Agra business and I recently secured seed funding to take my company to new heights I'm not being cocky but I think I'm pretty attractive I've been told that enough and I see it myself so it sucks that I'm here telling how my marriage might be crumbling to pieces in front of my eyes I think my wife is cheating on me and saying that sounds surreal I feel like I've done everything that a good husband and father should I met my wife wife back in University and it was a chance encounter but looking back it felt
like fate she was visiting her brother who happened to be my roommate what struck me most was her boldness she approached me and not the other way around with Sarah I didn't have to go through the mess of going after a woman and having her lead me on or play hard to get from the moment we met it was clear she saw something in me something she wanted in her life and that was certainly flattering Our dating days were fantastic at one point she practically became our third roommate sneaking in and out of our tiny
apartment as if she belonged there nothing stopped her from taking days off just to be with me she was in love and so was I I felt like nothing could ever come between us looking back it's why what I think has happened hurts even more we got married 8 years after we both graduated the wedding was everything we dreamed of and our life together started on a high note we didn't have much a small house an entry-level job as a landscape designer for me and her working part-time job while studying for her Masters but we
had each other and that was enough back to the present don't worry all that background is relevant as I mentioned I had recently secured seed funding for the business I co-founded with two other partners we had been grinding for 3 years and this was our big break for the past year I had been traveling across the country meeting with investors networking and pushing our startup forward initially we raised money from personal savings and interested friends and family but this funding round was our moment to really make an impact despite how happy a moment this was
meant to be why when I finally returned home to start my 4 week break was Sarah so distant the plan at work was simple in turn each of us would take a 4-we break to reconnect with our families clear our minds and brainstorm new ideas for scaling the business my co-founders would manage the day-to-day operations while I was off leaving me with nothing to do but relax after traveling so often it was obviously very much needed I have two beautiful daughters and with nothing work related on my plate I spent most of my time with
them last week I returned early from the golf club because I had a splitting headache as I passed by the girl's room I heard my wife in there laughing like really laughing curious and wanting to join in on whatever the joke was I walked in the look on her face when she saw me was unsettling she was so surprised to see me and why did she suddenly hang up the call I kept considering it but I didn't say anything at the moment later over dinner I casually brought it up who are you talking to earlier
I asked oh just Jess we were talking about her marriage and I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone until it had been resolved she replied nonchalant that story didn't align with the laughter I had heard but I didn't say anything at that point I pressed further and asked her why she was so shocked when she saw me walk into the room it was like she didn't want me to hear that what was being said she hesitated and then said I just didn't think you'd be home so early that's all something felt off that night I
couldn't get any sleep my mind was racing with questions my gut telling me something was not right we hadn't been intimate since I got back so that didn't help matters she kept saying she was too tired from taking care of the kids and that the migrain she dealt with made it impossible for us to have that kind of sexual life that we were used to but honestly I'm not sure that I was convinced by that this was the same woman who used to be insatiable the next morning I suggested she take a trip to Hawaii
as medicine for her stress she had been begging to go again for ages since she loved the first time we went so much she was shocked since this gift came out of nowhere really she seemed genuinely excited about it and I hadn't seen her that happy in a bit I told her I was very serious but I knew my real intentions I wanted her out of the house so I could investigate without her interference she had no real suspicion and she agreed to it she left on Thursday and is set to return on Monday that
night that she left I began my investigation who better to start with than her daughters who spend most of their day with their mother they're five and seven so they're young but they're old enough to know if something is off or at least I hoped I gathered them in the living room starting with regular conversation and then trying to steer it toward their mother and any potential friends they might have an idea about hey girls do you know mommy's friend the one she always talks to on the phone I asked casually Uncle J the younger
one said very eagerly I froze on hearing that and I asked her for clarification on who this guy is he's mommy's friend he comes over sometimes with ice cream my older daughter added I tried to keep my composure and I asked what he looked like she said that he was tall and funny and he was black my heart sank when I heard that because here's the thing we're white with no black Heritage whatsoever as far as I know so why are my very white daughters so close to a man they they call Uncle J a
man who has been entering my house without my knowledge my wife is bringing strange men around my children and that is very unsettling to me he clearly couldn't be an actual uncle and if my suspicion wasn't already through the roof it definitely was now am I being paranoid maybe GI is just a harmless friend she was scared to tell me about knowing I might react exactly how I am now I know that's just me coping because it doesn't make sense for her to bring another man to her house and he's an absolute secret to me
how stupid could she be especially if she was sleeping with him or perhaps she kept it from me because I had been away for about a year chasing funding for the business and I was rarely home for more than a week at a time since I was hardly around she could get a lot more comfortable with an affair partner and perhaps she got too comfortable thinking about it she wouldn't be able to leave the kids at home so the man would need to come to her I have this sinking feeling in my gut that something
is very very wrong Friday morning after dropping the girls off at school I decided to do some sleuthing around the house I needed answers anything that might give me some peace of mind but the more I searched the more frustrated I became I found absolutely nothing not a single clue by the end of the day I almost felt relieved maybe I was just being paranoid at the same time I knew that not finding anything wasn't a confirmation that nothing was happening though ultimately I had to let my worry go at that moment when she got
back home I'd have the chance to do some more in-depth snooping after lunch the girls and I played hideand-seek these girls could find the crazy craziest hiding spots and apart from the potential worry that they would hide somewhere dangerous one day like the fridge or a suitcase in the Attic it was still fun playing with my girls to be on the safe side though I limited the game to just my room their mother's office their bedroom and the living area I found one daughter easily enough but the first one was always trickier while searching for
her in the living area I accidentally knocked over a tall handwoven basket where we kept old books it was mostly for decoration making us look more well read than we probably were Aesthetics and all that I had searched this basket before when looking for evidence of what another man had been doing in the house but it seemed that I missed a small folded origami like paper tucked in the corner the first time I did because I saw it clear as day now if I hadn't knocked it over I might never have noticed it even if
I saw it I probably dismissed it as one of the girls play things but this time something compelled me to pick it up and look at it later as soon as we were done I went to my room and unfolded the paper the emotions hit me like a freight train there was shock bewilderment anger disgust and finally a deep depression it was sort of like a cotie catcher you know those little hand toys that kids make in school but this one was far from innocent each fold revealed a different position some familiar others so extreme
I had to Google them and then I saw the initials a J at the top and S at the bottom switching on each side ever since I found it I had not been myself because confirms that there's something going on something more than I'd like to know but I have to know I am counting the hours until my wife returns bracing myself for a huge confrontation but in the meantime I just have to talk to someone that's why I'm here letting this all out I'll be reading all your comments but I might not have the
chance to reply to them I will still let you guys know how it goes when something new has happened well you know for certain that Uncle J is bringing more than just ice cream but a trip to Hawaii that seems quite an elaborate way to get your wife out of the house to do some investigating but in all seriousness good luck with that confrontation update if you all can remember I'm the guy who came to tell the story of my wife Sarah who was having a man my children called Uncle jod over at the house
everything went down I completely forgot to give an update since I was dealing with worse things but I'm here with what should be the final update on this since things have come to a conclusion a painful one but still won nonetheless Sarah eventually got back from her trip and I surprised myself by not saying anything right away I helped her with her suitcase and listened to her pointless stories about how the vacation went the whole time I kept my face neutral nodding in the right places and offering fake Smiles inside I was boiling I wanted
to punch her over but I would never and had never laid a hand on her but I wanted hard evidence something undeniable that way if I decided to lose my mind on her it' be completely Justified if it was true I contined to knock her sideways with a divorce that would make men all over the world proud of me I wanted her to suspect that I knew something and make her suffer so I remained quiet playing my part this whole thing hurts so much because I paid for This Woman's master degree I helped her get
the job she currently had and never once cared what she earned because I handled all the bills it was just a year one year when I was away more than usual trying to make our lives better to give her the dream life we always talked about and she never complained not not once if she had I would have worked on coming home more frequently but I felt she understood the situation was just temporary by Monday I was already attending virtual meetings Again by Tuesday I was back at the workspace we had rented as soon as
I saw Zach one of my partners and a very good friend I pulled him aside I told him that I needed to talk to him about something personal and he looked at me and asked what was up I hesitated then I let it out I think Sarah's cheating on me in fact I'm basically sure of it I just don't have anything concrete his eyes widened and he asked me if I was sure he seemed as skeptical as I had initially been at the thought of it he knew her well too so it seemed out of
character for the most part I proceeded to explain what I had found and how I needed hardcore evidence I wanted to confront her making sure she couldn't deny it so that I could hopefully avoid the need for the divorce to head to a court case my goal was to ensure she got nothing when I filed for divorce my wife was relatively respected in our community I knew she'd want everything Hush Hush if I had undeniable evidence Zach asked me what the plan was so I laid out my strategy and detailed how I plan to get
her since Zach was more techsavvy than I am I asked her his help in getting discrete cameras that could capture both video and sound he agreed to help me out with that but he wanted to know whether I was sure I'd like to see what they could potentially capture I told him I would be since I had no other choice the next week I set the trap for her early one morning I mentioned to Sarah that I'd be out of town for 3 days for a big meeting in another state I also told her that
my mom would be taking the kid for a few days something she had been eager to do I had already arranged everything with my mom promising to explain later I told Sarah all this while pretending to be distracted by packing my briefcase out of the corner of my eye I almost felt like I saw a mild smile I knew she was already planning what she would do with me and the kids gone the night before I had set up the cameras Zach provided making sure they were hidden but had a clear view of the key
areas I felt she might visit I just hoped that she wouldn't notice them after breakfast I said my farewells and left the house house but instead of heading out of town I checked into a nearby hotel and worked from there during the weekend I returned home retrieving the cameras and got them to Zach as he pulled the footage from the memory card my wor spars were confirmed around 2: p.m. that day Sarah paced the living room phone in hand I watched as she dialed a number J she said he's gone he'll be gone for two
whole days please come over as soon as you can I miss you I stood there watching the laptop screen there was so much Fury boiling beside me as I watched her smile at whatever sweet nonsense he was feeding her over the phone I wanted to smash the laptop to stor him into my house and throw her out and call her all sorts of horrible things but I forced myself to stay calm I needed to see more that evening a man who must have obviously been J arrived he was tall dark and muscular and as he
walked into my home Sarah practically threw herself into his arms and kissed him missed you so much he responded the same and talked about how they would soon be together and live the life they wanted she added we'll spend his money together and they both laughed hearing those words twisted something inside of me my heart pounded inside my chest I can swear that I've never been anger in my entire life and I hated every second of how it felt I couldn't believe this was happening my wife was planning a future with this man the stranger
in my own home and she had brought him around my children too the footage showed them moving to her office I was embarrassed to have Zach witness this but I had to know everything they started undressing sharing inate touches and words that made my skin crawl I was feeling both humiliated and enraged at that point I asked Zach to leave because things were going too far which he did immediately but I kept watching then they moved to the girl's bedroom I nearly screamed in that room by myself my daughter's room should have been off limits
at the very least but it was clear at least it was my conclusion that she was Intoxicated by the excitement of what she was doing and seemed to be enjoying how wrong everything was they were loud careless and made a mess of of everything as they did these things and I watched it all seething with rage but forcing myself to absorb every detail this was all the evidence I needed and I wanted to watch it just one time through and then never again I somehow did that but if you've never had to watch your woman
cheat on you you don't know how painful it is that night I couldn't sleep my mind raced with thoughts of what to do next I considered filing for divorce immediately and throwing her out into the streets but I knew that if I acted hastily I might lose the upper hand I also knew I needed to account for my daughters in all of this their mother couldn't just disappear I needed to be methodical to destroy her in a way she wouldn't see coming when I got back I immediately told her we needed to talk her face
changed and she asked me what it was about I walked into the living room before turning to face her about what's been going on while I've been away she replied I don't know what you mean I couldn't believe how convincingly she lied it made sense how I knew nothing all this time I pulled out my laptop setting on the coffee table I think you do she hesitated then sat down across from me I opened the video file and the screen lit up with images of her and ji together her face turned white as she watched
herself on the screen the Betrayal she had tried so hard to keep hidden now playing out before her eyes I was just looking at her face the entire time I didn't want to or need to look at the video again that was when she started to gravel please please don't do this she begged tears welling up I told her to shut up I was shocked at how venomous I sounded I wasn't having any of it she broke down sobbing into her hands apologizing and saying it was all a mistake I snapped it was no mistake
mistakes happen once maybe twice but not when you plan a whole Affair in scheme to spend my money she started pleading saying she'd do anything swearing on her parents' lives I think I started laughing maybe it was a bitter laugh or a happy one no idea but it felt good in its own way I stood up staring down at her it's too late for that we're done Sarah I want a divorce she turned even paler her eyes wide with fear she tried to grab my legs but I pulled away I told her to get a
lawyer and if she fought me I'd make sure she got nothing and I'd ruin her perfect reputation that she's worked so hard to cultivate at that moment she must have realized that the big break my company was going to get was going to be entirely out of her reach because she messed everything up in the final stretch her sobbing intensified and she begged me not to take the children I told her I would be taking them and that if she fought me in the court I'd expose the time she almost drowned our second daughter due
to postpartum depression and the opioids she had been abusing not once but twice I know how hard PPD can be on mothers but in that moment I needed my get back I assured her that I'd make sure she never got near the girls again because who's to say she might not become depressed again after the divorce and ended up jumping back on opioids that would put my kids at risk the weeks that followed were a blur of legal meetings and divorce negotiations Sarah tried to fight it at first but I made sure she knew that
if she did I'd drag her through the mud I made that part clear over and over in the end she agreed to settle with my divorce demands she signed off full custody of the girls to me though there was obviously some space for visitation as much as I now resented her deeply I wanted my girls to have a mother still she also managed to negotiate and walk away with a lump sum in place of alimony but not enough to make me lose sleep she'd likely spend it all to get an apartment since I was keeping
the house she could spend that money with J if she wanted but it wouldn't last them both very long her once bright future now looked Bleak and I made sure she knew it but even after the divorce was finalized she continued to beg for forgiveness every day I received texts and emails and calls that I never picked up from her pleading for another chance asking me to reconsider she said she couldn't live without me that she was sorry and that she would do anything to make it right she said I could cheat with as many
people as I wanted and she would accept it and even encourage it she was grasping at straws with all her attempts but I ignored them all there was nothing left to save quite honestly I thought of it back then even if I decided to get back with her it would be horribly empty and fake I didn't need her to be a major part of my life ever again and that's how my marriage of almost 9 years ended it sucks when something that was once so treasured comes to an end but it wasn't worth fighting for
anymore and as much as life is different now I'll get used to it right now I just wanted to focus on my girls that's what will keep me going I appreciate all of you for the support of my first post and I'll just say that if you're going through something similar you're surely going to make it out alive you've got to love when they start offering deals like you can cheat as much as you want as if that's going to fix anything anyway now that she's left with some sad sum of money and J who
I'm sure will be thrilled to spend her hard-earned scraps until he realizes that love doesn't pay rent M respect to you op keep focusing on the girls you've through hell but you made it out with your head high and your wallet relatively intact what do you make of this what do you think of the trip to Hawaii let us know your thoughts in the comments below and thank you for joining us today on ourspace be sure to like And subscribe and hit that notification Bell so you don't miss out on our next video see you
